Products
The products page in the admin area lists all of your products.
Each product will have it’s own product page which you can view
by clicking on the product name.
Product Pages:
A product page is a page dedicated to displaying just one particular
product and is usually linked to automatically from a category page
that has been set up to list products although you can also link to a
product page manually from anywhere. If a particular product has
related products selected then these may be listed on this page
also. You can change how related products are displayed on a
product page by modifying system category 2 (Related Products).
Adding New Products
New products can be added by clicking the Add link beside
Products in the admin menu. For more information on this see the
add/modify product help section.
Product Sort-Order
You can re-arrange the sort-order for products in each category. To
do this first select a category from the category drop down. Once
you do this you should see Up - Down - Top links to move each
product up or down or straight to the top. Products to the top will be
listed first in the selected website category.
Searching Products
You can use the search box to search for a particular product. You
can also use the category drop down to list only products that are
in a particular category.
Modifying a Product
To modify a product click on the modify link beside the product
name. For more information on this see the add/modify product
help section.
Duplicating a Product
To duplicate a product click on the modify link beside the product
click on the duplicate product link. This will create an exact copy of
the product with a new product id. The new product will also be set
to out of stock automatically.
Exporting Products
You can export product data to a csv file which you can download
to your computer. If you first select a category from the drop down
or do a search for particular products you can also export just
these products.
When opening the exported csv file in your spreadsheet program
use the pipe character as separator (usually it defaults to comma).
Once it is open set all cells to text and save in your spreadsheet
programs native format so you can more easily update and work
on it.
Deleting Products
To delete products select the check-boxes beside the products you
want to delete and click the delete selected button. If you delete a
product remember to remove or update any links that you have
manually created to it. If you think you might want to use the
product again in the future it might be better to modify the product
and change it’s status to out of stock instead of deleting it
permanently.
